The Crown Keepers are a team of adventurers from Critical Role’s Exandria Unlimited spin-off series, which uses dungeon masters and players outside the core cast. The Crown Keepers are interesting because about half of them then feature in Campaign Three as part of Bells Hells.
The Critical Role: Exandria Unlimited – The Crown Keepers Boxed Set is a box of six pre-painted minis and does not include Fearne or Orym, who can instead be found in the Bells Hells box.
First off, we get Dorian Storm, who guested in Campaign Three as well. A version of this character can be found in the Bells Hells box, but this version of Darian wears a finer cloak and is wielding a lute and a smile. It’s a more vibrant take on the hero than we see in the other box, but its inclusion in this set reduces the overall utility; you don’t need many Air Genasi bards in any collection. It’s a nice piece, though.
Next up is Morrighan Ferus, a lagomore rogue, or, to put it another way, a leather-clad thief with bunny ears. This is a very nicely sculpted model and a great-looking rogue, though the rabbit ears do make it stand out.
Opal is arguably the main character when it comes to the Crown Keepers, as they are the one who literally keeps the crown. This version of the character is Opal as we first meet her, garbed in a purple and pink outfit with paired knives, rather than the slightly more corrupted hero we encounter later on in the show.
Fy’ra Rai is a powerful monk from the plane of fire, and the character model is appropriately impressive. This is perhaps the nicest model in the set, and you’ll absolutely find a use for it if you’re a dungeon master. The model for Dariax Zaveon is also nicely done; the gutter dwarf looks almost heroic and is very well sculpted.
Finally, Dungeon Master Aabria Iyengar gets their own model in this set. At a pinch, you could use this well-sculpted model of a lady in a nice dress as a sorcerer or wizard, but mostly, it’s nice to have.
Critical Role: Exandria Unlimited – The Crown Keepers Boxed Set is a good addition to a Critical Role fans collection and a fairly handy mix of cool models for the D&D/TTRPG table.
